ASTM B945-06 - 15.5.2006
 
1. Scope

1.1 This practice establishes the controls necessary for production of extrusions cooled from an elevated temperature shaping (extrusion) process for the production of T1, T2, T5 and T10-type tempers (see ANSI H35.1).

1.2 This practice is for production of extruded product supplied in the alloys shown in in the T1, T2, T5 or T10-type tempers. It contains pertinent information to be used in establishing production practices and is descriptive rather than prescriptive.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
